3.2. Taxonomie

"Leucoptera lathyrifoliella (Stainton, 1866) and L. orobi (Stainton, 1870) are considered distinct species on the basis of constant differences in the morphology of both male and female genitalia. No support was found for literature statements of differences in external appearance between the species. Likewise, the presumed differences in their host plants appear uncertain or erroneous, since both species exploit several host plant species in the plant genera Vicia and Lathyrus."
